Brady joked that he expects to spot it soon in an online auction.

He would not say whether his fifth championship meant more to him than the others because of his four-game suspension stemming from the Deflategate scandal.

Coach Bill Belichick said it would be “inappropriate” to suggest that Brady put in more effort this season for any reason.

“To insinuate that this season was somehow different, that this year he competed harder or did anything to a higher degree than anything he has in the past I think is insulting to the tremendous effort and leadership and competitiveness that he’s shown for the 17 years that I’ve coached him,” Belichick said.

Brady had another uneventful interaction with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell during a photo with the MVP trophy.

He said teammate James White was more deserving of the award because of his three touchdowns in Sunday’s victory, including the winning 2-yard run.

Two years ago, Brady gave the truck he received for winning MVP honors to Malcolm Butler for the rookie cornerback’s game-saving interception in the Patriots’ Super Bowl win over the Seahawks.
